Does anyone know of anyone that's done a detachable cable mod for the KSC75's or if it would even be possible to have the connectors in the actual chassis rather than hanging off a short wire?
So I received the AV Link SC27 headphone for use as a headband a few days ago and here's my update.
The socket connecting the KSC75 driver to the headband is a little loose. This can be fixed with using the tinfoil mod to give it some extra width.
The metal headband uses a weaker aluminum than the Parts Express one. Feels more flimsy. I was able to replace the headband with an older one I had lying around from those cheap airplane headphones though.
The plastic housing for the headband uses a more, flexible plastic and is angled more straight, whereas the Parts Express one uses a sturdier plastic and is angled to give the headphone more of a clasp.
Here are some comparison photos:
KSC75 with our favorite Parts Express headband. Has an O-shaped clasp.
KSC75 with AV Link SC27 headband and replaced metalband. Has a N-shaped clasp.
So the AV Link SC27 headband is usable, but you'll have to make some modifications and some concessions. Use the Parts Express one if available.
Long time member and user/fan of the 75s. I think I’ve been through probably half a dozen pairs in addition to the full-size headphones I have at home. I have a couple pairs now that have had a channel go out (99% cable as the culprit) - is there anyone here who I could contact for a recable?

Fully aware, but might as well just buy a new pair which I've done a few times already. Since I have these perfectly good drivers that just need a recable, I was hoping to find someone here as it's a relatively painless job, I just don't have the tools and skills (re soldering) to do it myself. Cheers

I wish there was a thread for modders offering recabling services. I created a KSC75 thread in the FS/WTB forum, but only had maybe two people reply and those fell through the wayside (probably because I'm north of the border).

It's sometimes more effective to just wait for a sale than try to get the lifetime warranty.
Very true! Believe it or not, I purchased 8 or 9 pairs of the Radio Shack version about 10 years or so back. Gave some away, I still have a sealed pack of them somewhere. They were around $6 a set on a close out.
If you like mic cables and would use one on the KSC75, it's great news. Otherwise, it's just an aesthetic change. (I wish they'd do a factory mod like the TX0, not that the TX0 was all that great.)
Just got my KSC75X, and I have to say, I think I like the normal KSC75 much better. The Massdrop edition's paint looks cheaper compared to the regular's metallic paint. Sound wise, there does not seem to be any difference either.
